State Fair of Texas
Will Choose Queen
DALLAS, Aug. 29—Who shall
rule as queen of all Texas?
She will be chosen and crown-
ed and accorded all royal honors
when the State Fair of Texas
holds its fourth annual Queen
of Queens Pageant and Corona-
tion on opening night, Oct. 4.
With nearly all plans for the
colorful ceremony completed. Al-
phonso Uayland, Jr., Vice Chair-
man, estimated that 75 queens of
county and regional fairs of Tex-
as w o u 1 d participate in the
elaborately staged production.
The winner, to be selected by
qualified judges, will bear the title
of Queen of Queens and will be
awarded an all-expense trip to
Hollywood, where she will be fet-
ed by several major motion pic-
ture studios and given a screen
test by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
More than 35,000 persons wit-
nessed the colorful spectacle last
year, when Miss Jerry Jenkins
was chosen Queen of Queens, and
Mr. Uayland predicted that the
huge Cotton Bowl’s 40,000 odd
seats would be filled this year,
since ceremonies will be more
elaborate than ever for this in-
creasingly pqpular State Fair at-
traction.
Emphasing that the Queen of
Queens Pageant is state-wide in
nature, Mr. Ragland announced
that an entry for Dallas and Dal-
las county will be prohibited, but
also emphasized that any girl be-
tween the ages of 10 and 22 and
who is sponsored as a queen,
sweetheart or representative of
any Texas Fair or festival or city
or county, or civic organization
may participate.
Preceding selection and corona-
tion of the Queen of Queens in
settings of regal splendor will be
a full day of entertainment and
activity for visiting queens. They
will adorn beautifully decorated
floats in the mammoth street
parade which will officially open
the Fair, after which they will be
guests at a luncheon. Following
the coronation that night, they
will participate in a royal ball
with the new-crowned Queen of
Queens and all her court.
All visiting queens will be
chaperoned by a committee of
hostesses, selected from members
of poineer Dallas county fami-
lies.

Blood and Sand’
At Palace Tonight
With the blazing pageantry of
Spain providing the colorful
background for Tyrone Power’s
most powerful role, 20th Cen-
tury-Fox's latest technicolor hit,
“Blood and Sand,” which shows
at the Palace Theatre tonight,
has been called a “magnificent,
tensely exciting and colorful
film.”
"Blood and Sand” is the grip-
ping story of a fearless, death-
defying matador, teemingly 10-
mantic, who is torn between the
love of his beautiful wife and
the fatal charm of an allujing
temptress. Linda Darnell and
Rita Haywood are in the key
roles with Power.

How To Best Use
Cotton Stamps

ton stamps can be wa.-u-d if you

li will help if the family plans
together and makes an mveiitoiy
ol' what cotton goods are on hnmi.
Then studying the inventory li.-t
the needs for cotton clothing and
household cottons. The clothing
needs of each family member will
need to be listed, so that each can
share in the cotton stamps. One
thing to remember is to plan to
spend wisely, proportioning be-
tween clothing and houeeholi
uses and thereby purchasing the
things most needed.
Here are some timely tips on
buying, and whether you are buy-
ing clothes or articles for the
home you will find these tips
ihelpful:
Be sure to take your nst when
you go shopping.
If you don’t know the prices
of things you need, get them.
Don't hesitate to ask questions.
Read carefully all the labels
on the articles you buy.
Good quality material generally
means a saving since it lusts long-
er and stands hard wear better.
Don’t let a bargain lean you
into buying something you don’t
need.
If you buy goods at sales be
sure to check the price and qual-
ity with values offered regularly
and in other stores.
Go slowly, think carefully, de-
cide wisely.
Here are a few textile terms
that may help you when you go
to spend your cotton stamps:
Thread Count: or yarn count,
means the number of yarns per
inch both lengthwise and cross-
wise of the material. A higher
count fabric has yarns closet to-
gether, so usually it will be
stronger and more durable.
Sanforized shrunk meant the
material or garment has been
shrunk.
Filler, sizing or loading IS some-
times used to fill the air space
of low-count fabrics. Since the
mixture is usually made of starch
and other fabrics it often washes
out during laundering. It adds
little to the actual value of the
material, although it improves the
appearance, so that buyers are
often fooled about quality.
Vat Dyed means that the mate-
rial is fast to washing and light.
